The Birder's Inn

The room (deluxe) was huge and nicely decorated with plenty of storage space. It was very quiet, despite the hotel being on a main road. The staff were all very friendly. The evening fire in the garden was a good touch. It was 300 metres from the entrance to the bird sanctuary, albeit along a grotty path by a busy road. Good value for money. The food was plentiful. Good heater in the room.

The restaurant staff were helpful but in the evening there was no choice except a buffet comprising dishes which were too spicey for our taste. The breakfast was basic but adequate. The dining room was gloomy with very heavy furniture. Overall, the hotel feels like a 50 year old building that has seen better days. We booked a taxi to Delhi through the hotel - possibly not their fault but the driver got a bit lost and drove in an eccentric way some of the time. Reception were very friendly but information abou how to visit the bird sancuary was not always helpful. For the record, the cheapest and best option is to take a tuktuk from the entrance to the second gate at 200 IR, then walk.

The Birder's Inn is an ideal location when visiting the Keoladeo National Park. You can easily get an e-rickshaw or walk to the park entrance. The hotel is quite nice with a courtyard feel that helps isolate from road noise. The rooms are big. Meals at the restaurant were good and they were able to accommodate our daughter's need for gluten free meals. The staff was very kind and helpful. We were grateful for the extra blankets and space heaters in January as it was cold.

The rooms are a little aged and could use some improvements like new towels, linens, fresh paint, and updated tub/toilet fixtures. Beware the evening mosquitos.

The restaurant staff accommodated our special requests, and late breakfast hours, after morning visits to the national park. The food was always very well prepared. They gave good suggestions for planning out our trips. The rooms were pretty big and had a fridge and a kettle that made things easier. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay, mostly thanks to the helpful staff. The park e-rickshaws come straight to the hotel front, which is quite convenient as well.

Since it was the off season, there was some noise in the room from renovations. The room phone had a tough time reaching the front desk, and the TV in the room was from the early 2000s. Room prices were a bit higher than expected, given that it was before the season had started.

The location is awesome. The restaurant nearby makes great lal mas. The breakfast was great especially the care with which Mr. Solank hosted the guests, it felt like he was the bride's father in a wedding. He's the reason I'd come back again. The rooms are ok but the vibe overall it's good and peaceful.

The room had a weird smell that took some time to be overcome. The washroom had water backflow that needed to be fixed and was a disturbance to get done in our limited rest time in hotel. Access to public transport at night feels a bit bad. The meals are very costly at 650 +gst per head. For comparison, bbq nation is 880 without offers. They will not provide utensils if you order from outside, even if it is something not on the menu.

The property is very nice. The room was quite large and comfortable, and the bathroom was also pretty large. While we did not need it, there was an air-conditioner and a radiator. The food was good. The best part of this place is that it is only 300 m from the entrance to the Keoladeo National Park. You can walk to the park. Usually people will take a rickshaw and the rickshaw drivers can act as guides. We got one from outside the hotel -- they are unaffiliated with the hotel -- and he (Ramesh) was quite knowledgeable. There were also a nice selection of books that could be borrowed, fiction and non-fiction. There were also some kittens around, and that was really nice as it shows that the people there are really animal-friendly. They were also very hospitable.

The only niggle is that a) the water in the tap is salty, but that is probably just a function of being in Rajasthan and not something I would hold against the place, and b) it takes some time for the hot water to flow through the taps and you have to run the tap for some time, which is a bit wasteful of water. Perhaps they should retrofit the rooms so that the geysers are in the room itself, which would make the hot water more immediate.

Proximity to the National Park, just 5 minute walk. Staff and room

The geyser is solar run so no hot water before late afternoon, this is the only draw back but I can understand that it is environment friendly. As the peak season for bird watchers and photographers are in the winters so it will be nice if they can make some alternate arrangements during the winter months only.

Rooms are spacious, food is good and staff are exceptionally friendly. Hotel is located close to the bird sanctuary making commute easy. They also provide packed lunch for people spending the full day in the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary.

There are no lifts. So older people might have problems in climbing stairs. Though the hotel staff helps with the luggage.

I was really impressed with this hotel. the staff were attentive, passionate and very helpful. Food was excellent. rooms were also quite comfortable. Overall great value. I also really appreciated that they were taking care of a mother cat with 5 kittens and giving her a safe place to stay and also feeding her and the kittens. this shows the pure and loving heart of the owners and staff. Thanks for doing that.

wifi needs to be improved in the rooms. it was fine in the common areas.

Traditional and nice building. The property is very clean and quiet. The bedroom was big. The food quality is great. Best point of the stay is the staff. Very kind receptionist/manager and staff. The birdwatching guide they recommended was very knowledgable and we spent an amazing time visiting the park. They helped us arrange everything for our trip and even arranged an earlier breakfast for us. Top notch service, very good vibes !!

a bit too cold at night

I have been taking my son to places in Rajasthan, everytimr we come to India from USA. We found Birders Inn on the net and liked its rates and proximity to the National Park. We just fell in love with the ambiance, courteousness of the staff, beautiful decor, and delicious meals. Our room was large, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. They even arranged a guide for us for a tour of the park. I highly recommend this little gem of Bharatpur.
